I did but in the page, participants
https://battlemesh.org/BattleMeshV15/Participants

because the others looks blocked to edit.
I can't also create new pages.

I share to you some screenshot to fix.. I think is an issue of 
permission.. the pages say : immutable pages. on top

I paste here the text of Roger, if is possible is nice if stay quite top 
of the main page of the version15.. thanks again

I didn't edit writing explicit: "trans-feminist welcome" or "we will not 
tolerate act of racism, colonialism and omofobia", because this is a 
level that we have to agree all together, this not a personal decision, 
but a collective decision and we have to agree together thinking and 
comparing how much self-education we have done to ourselves to get out 
of structural problems like racism and sexism. So decide and write only 
if we think that we can really apply :)
So I can't define it, but maybe we can do in the roundtable or in the 
final assembly?

I did this,

hem I used the slogan from Porto...

looking now.. I think is missing Open.. somewhere.. but can works..
I'm sorry but I'm not a grafic design :/

Maybe logos of the community that will partecipating can help.

I think to publish also on https://bcn.convoca.la/about..
I think we are compliant with their requests.. like..

we push FOSS.. and if we have to fit in one of that category, I thinks 
we can stay in:

-Defensa i transformació de serveis públics: educació, sanitat, 
transport...   COMMUNICATION NETWORKS :)

-Moviment cooperatiu ..

I think a lot of ECOxarxas are using GUIFINET, but maybe is a mine idea..

Will be possible have some talks about the ECOxarcas? I think is a 
magnific example of human networks based on a idea of "equality"..about 
productions of food and interchanges.. and about local money..

but I knew some in 2017.. so I don't know now..

Do you think is important I specific ask to someone a talk/charla about 
this?
or.. already someone submitted?

yeah, thanks! I think I can coordinate a round table,

and I would like also submit a talk about the use of developer tools in 
networking, so something about git/pass/ssh to manage things together in 
local organization. I send soon the two proposals.

Can be also the place where we can speak freely about aggression/micro 
aggression that people lived in IT events to have clear what is endemic 
racism and sexism..

thanks for this,
I think the round table is enougth and give us more advantage if we do 
mixed.
and the Bechdel test in grafic of humans can be one of the topic.

Personally I check if in a poster:
- are rapresented also feminine/trans/queer not white human
- if are rapresented: if they are the protagonists, if they act as 
soggettivity together, if they act in autonomy from men,...

I prefer go deep in this topic speaking, because english for me is a bit 
hard.. sorry. Thanks that you went to read the wikipedia pages
and by now the Bedchel test is outdated, it was a test to show the 
injustice of representation of women in films, and it was then extended 
so that we see the injustice of representation of many categories in a 
level of intersectional politics.
